Joseph W. Jordan, Conspiracy to Make Bribes or Kickbacks to a Bank Officer, Georgia 2013

A former resident of Dougherty County, Georgia, has been brought to justice for his role in a brazen bribery scheme.

Joseph Wiley Jordan, 64, was found guilty by a jury on June 4, 2012, of four felony counts, including Conspiracy to Make Bribes or Kickbacks to a Bank Officer, and three substantive acts of bribes and kickbacks to a bank officer.

The case against Jordan was jointly investigated by Agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the United States Secret Service. Assistant United States Attorney Jim Crane for the Middle District of Georgia prosecuted the case.

On January 30, 2013, Jordan was sentenced to 15 months in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons and two years of supervised release after serving his sentence. He was allowed to remain on bond pending his surrender to the Bureau of Prisons.

The investigation and prosecution of Jordan's case were a testament to the cooperation of law enforcement partners and the hard work of the agents and prosecutor involved.

In a statement, U.S. Attorney Michael Moore praised the success of the prosecution, saying it was made possible by the cooperation of law enforcement partners and the hard work of the agents and prosecutor assigned to the case.

Inquiries regarding the case should be directed to Sue McKinney, Public Affairs Specialist, United States Attorney's Office at (478) 621-2601.
